SynopsisThe Vineyard Man is a romantic-comical drama that revolves around
the life of Lee Ji-Hyun (Yoon Eun Hye), a city girl who wants to show
the world that beneath her seemingly ordinary characteristics is an
extraordinary girl who will some day achieve great things. Ji-Hyun is a
striving young clothing designer, who hopes to have her own label one
day. Her plans are put on hold when she reluctantly takes up a tempting
offer from her granduncle. She had to work one year in her granduncle's
vineyard in order to inherit it. In the vineyard, the challenge of
adjusting to country life is made more difficult when she has to learn
how to grow grapes under the supervision of the seemingly uncouth and
unsympathetic man in charge of the vineyard, Jang Taek-Gi (Oh Man Suk).
Amidst conflicts and trials, Ji-Hyun and Taek-Gi learned to care for
each other. As time goes by, Ji Hyun finds herself falling in love with
the vineyard and the man in it. Through the mundane process of grape
farming and the personal relationship of Ji-Hyun and Taek-gi, this
story portrays how beauty and kindness can be found in everything and
everyone when one looks beyond the surface.
This romantic comedy features beautiful rustic scenery, a
lighthearted story and a fresh cast. Yoon Eun Hye (as Lee Ji Hyun, the
city girl) and Oh Man Soek (as Jang Taek-Gi, the vineyard man) both won
